Quirky relationship films

Here are a bunch of (apparently) low/no-budget, non-distributed indy films I've run into over the past few weeks. The overall theme: quirky relationships & beaches.

Broken Arrows
Some nice HDV cinematography. It always surprises me when indy filmmakers have a burning desire to make quirky relationship films. It's easier for me to understand something like this, where it's a guy trying to make something cool looking.

Tahiti
This movie tries SO hard to be a quirky relationship comedy I almost want to take it home in a blanket. Curiously, the guy who directed this film was the DP on Call of Cthulu.

Tomorrow is Today
Another quirky relationship film shot on HDV. This one won some sort of minor cinematography award. Note the use of gradients to keep the eye in frame—in every shot. I think the people who made this are video software developers.
